Cousins birthday is coming up and he is really starting to get into good beers. His girlfriend wants to get him a subscription to a beer of the month club so she asked me. And I have NO idea. Sure, I can google all the clubs. But it would be nice to get some personal experience.

I am brewing a chocolate bourbon porter right now, been in the primary for 6 days so far and its doing good (.006 above what beersmith said the FG will be). Once it goes into the secondary I will be adding some vanilla bean, chocolate, and the chips, I have questions on each. The recipe called...

I want to start on a good winter brew now. I want it to be something warm, heavy, and high alcohol (around 10%). I was thinking I would try a bourbon stout, maybe add a small hint of chocolate to it. But I dont know where to begin. I looked through the recipe database here, but everything was...

I am brewing a watermelon wheat beer. I racked the wort and yeast on top of a little bit of watermelon puree to boost the gravity, and let it ferment. My gravity has been at 1.014 for a few days now, no bubbles in the airlock, and the krausen was all but gone. So I transferred earlier today to...

I was directed here by a member of a car forum I am on when I said I picked up my homebrewing stuff. I've been lurking since wednesday night, just reading and taking it all in. I read that nice long thread of one liner (mostly) advice, and its helped a lot. I've started my first batch already...
